After his subordinates pulled the dead man down, Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu.
He said: "Xiaolu, if there is anything you don't understand, go out and talk about it first. If you believe me, I can help you figure it out."
Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Zhi and nodded in agreement: "Okay, if you can help me, I'll thank you first."
Zhou Zhi was born in Beijing and was already in the game. Zhou Zhi must know better what kind of person Yan Qingyun is.
The two of them left the secret cell together and returned to the main hall.
Su Xiaolu told Zhou Zhi what happened at home these days.
Zhou Zhi listened quietly.
After finishing speaking, Su Xiaolu asked Zhou Zhi: "This matter is a bit complicated. Can you help me analyze whether this matter has anything to do with Yan Qingyun."
Su Xiaolu didn't believe that this matter had nothing to do with Yan Qingyun.
But judging from the confessions made by the dead men, Yan Qingyun really had nothing to do with these things.
The people belong to Qi Xinyue, and the dead men are secretly raised by Qi Xinyue. They only do things for Qi Xinyue, and most of them are jealous of the inner house.
If they are related to Yan Qingyun, then they have done more than that. Yan Qingyun has been an official for many years, doesn’t he have political opponents that he hates?
Su Xiaolu waited for Zhou Zhi's answer with questions.
Zhou Zhi smiled lightly and said: "Yan Shangshu is a man of great scheming and scheming, and he is very popular with the emperor, because he has one advantage, that is, he knows current affairs."
"I often stay in Beijing and have some dealings with him. I also have some understanding of his behavior. Let me tell you this, if something is beneficial to him, he will definitely do it. On the contrary, if it is beneficial to him, he will definitely do it.
If it's unfavorable, he will never be sloppy, he will cut it off decisively, no matter who this person is, who he is."
"Four years ago, there was a corruption case in Beijing. He was a cousin of his wife's family. Because he couldn't handle it, he came to him to seek protection, hoping that he could solve the matter. He first pretended to be stable.
He killed that person and then went directly to the palace to plead guilty."
"Because of his impartiality and selflessness, the emperor did not blame him, so he was not implicated in any way. If he covers up and things happen again in the future, this will become a weakness for other ministers to refer to him. He understands this truth deeply, so
He dealt with it without hesitation, and that cousin even had a chat with him over wine not long ago."
After Zhou Zhi said this, he looked at Su Xiaolu seriously and said, "Xiaolu, this matter seems to have nothing to do with him, but I don't think it is as simple as it seems on the surface."
"He must know about it. He may even know about Yan Mian's loss. Because it would be detrimental to him to tell it, he didn't tell it. As for this assassination, I believe it was not him. Because your family returned
Not returning will have no impact on him for the time being, but it will be different for his wife Qi Xinyue."
"Old General Qi is still alive. General Qi has done a lot of hard work. He has always valued love. If he knew that the loss of his only granddaughter was man-made and not an accident, Qi Xinyue's life would not be saved. After so many years of separation and pain, someone has to come.
To compensate, Yan Qingyun can pick it clean, but Qi Xinyue cannot."
Zhou Zhi explained his analysis to Su Xiaolu in detail.
Su Xiaolu pursed her lips. She looked at Zhou Zhi and said, "So, Yan Qingyun knew about this matter. He didn't do anything. He didn't help Qi Xinyue or stop Qi Xinyue."
Zhou Zhi nodded: "There is a high probability that this is the case. If my guess is not wrong, then it won't be long before you know the truth. This truth should be Qi Xinyue's confession of committing suicide out of fear of crime."
Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Zhi in confusion: "She committed suicide in fear of crime so quickly? Why?"
Zhou Zhi smiled, looked at Su Xiaolu and said: "Because she is a mother who cares about her children. In the past few decades of Yan's mansion, except for Qi Xinyue who has children, so many concubines have nothing to do.
And Yan Shangshu is not a long-term person. She has sacrificed a lot for her children, so she will make the final choice in order not to affect her children."
"Won't Yan Qingyun protect her?"
Su Xiaolu felt that Zhou Zhi's speculation was reasonable, but she didn't know Yan Qingyun well, and she didn't know how accurate Zhou Zhi's prediction was.
Listening to Su Xiaolu's question, Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu and slowly said: "Xiaolu, Yan Shangshu is a man who understands current affairs. Protecting Qi Xinyue at the moment does not have any benefit to him, except for being convicted."
"But Qi Xinyue has been husband and wife with him for decades, doesn't he miss her at all?"
Su Xiaolu had doubts in her heart, are there really people who have been married for decades and never care about their past friendship when trouble comes? Are there really people who are so cold-blooded?
Zhou Zhi didn't say anything more. Su Xiaolu looked at him and felt that Zhou Zhi's smiling eyes seemed to be tinged with sadness. For a moment, Su Xiaolu felt something in his heart and remembered Zhou Zhi's poisonous attack.
Some people are willing to disregard their own flesh and blood, and even despise their ten-month-old child just because of a ridiculous order, poisoning him personally and putting him to death again and again.
In this world, there is no closer relationship than the biological mother. Such a relationship can be regardless of affection, let alone just a husband and wife.
"Xiaolu, I will continue to interrogate these people. If any information comes out, I will send someone to let you know."
Zhou Zhi said softly.
Su Xiaolu glanced at Zhou Zhi and nodded. She stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go home first."
Su Xiaolu walked to the door, paused again, turned around and said to Zhou Zhi: "Remember to take your medicine on time. If you feel pain in your leg, you can massage it more. Kneading can relieve the pain."
After saying that, Su Xiaolu left, and this time she didn't look back.
Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu's back. He slowly lowered his eyes and looked at his legs with cold eyes.
"Ah--"
He chuckled softly and raised his eyes again. There was only endless indifference in his eyes.
From initial suspicion and indifference to active concern now, he seems to have succeeded halfway.
——
When Su Xiaolu arrived at the door of Zhou Zhi's mansion, she saw a familiar figure at the door.
Zhou Heng had an anxious look on his face and was talking to Jin Liu who was guarding him.
Jin Liu was very indifferent: "My master, you can meet me whenever you want, and if you say you know Miss Su, I will believe it is true? If you make trouble in front of my master's house again, I will not let you go lightly."
Jin Liu was unusually cold. When he looked at Zhou Heng, his eyes seemed to turn into swords, and one of his hands stayed on the sword at his waist.
When Su Xiaolu saw it, he called "Third Brother".
Zhou Heng was relieved when he heard Su Xiaolu's voice.
Jin Liu looked at Zhou Heng, his face softened instantly and said, "You actually know Miss Su. I'm sorry, I was the one who offended you just now."
After Jin Liu finished speaking, he turned to Su Xiaolu and said, "Miss Su, are you going back? Just now, this man said that he was a relative of yours, and he would meet you and my master later. I felt that I was a bit harsh on him if I was suspicious.
